What is going on?. (DK2 save erased)

[Gamingking]

Well, I was pretty far on DK2. And I stress WAS because I turn the game on my SNES and it was erased. And no one has played my SNES. This happened before to my Donkey Kong 2 file, Any clue on what the problem is? And how it can be fixed??.

Your battery may be going dead. Are all the files erased, or just yours? If it's just the one, I think ghosts is a plausible option.

Your game may be defective, you'll have to throw it away and get a new one. That's really the only option available, other than replacing the battery, whatever is easier.

Throwing away games that aren't made any more is always the answer. Another victory for sustainable consumerism!

This coming from a guy who managed to hang himself with a Dreamcast controller. :P

Hey, it tried to hang me!! Damn DC got all offensive when I mocked it about its poorly secured power supply board.

Really though, to replace the battery don't even screw with the welds. Remove the battery clip (and the attached battery) at its attachment points to the PCB, then replace the whole works with a battery retainer that allows battery replacement.

Replacing the battery is pretty easy if you have any previosu soldering skills as it would take less than ten minutes. As another option send your game to me and I will do it for you, just pay for the parts and the shipping.

Use a cleaning kit first on both the game and system before trying to replace the battery. A poor connection can result in lost saves, especially if the console is bumped while the power is on.
